Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 645

After Mr. Kevin Everly left, only Amara and Finnian were left in the room.

Amara felt acutely uncomfortable, keeping her head down and eating in silence. Finnian glanced at her multiple times, and seeing her so withdrawn—never once looking up at him—left him feeling frustrated.

After a couple of minutes, Finnian finally couldn’t hold back. He looked up and asked, “Can I ask you something?”

With no one else around, it was obvious he was talking to Amara.

Amara furrowed her brow. “Go ahead.”

She was genuinely curious what Finnian wanted to ask, but she didn’t expect him to say, “Why did you hit Dorian the other day?”

Finnian really was puzzled by it. If Amara had been angry at him, it didn’t make sense for her to take it out on Dorian—after all, she hadn’t so much as touched Finnian himself.

The mention of Dorian immediately brought to mind Elysia’s pregnancy, and the photos Elysia had shown her of their messages. Amara’s mood took a turn for the worse.

She set her fork down and said, “Dorian is still in contact with Jessica behind Elysia’s back. He’s pretending to be devoted to Elysia while secretly seeing Jessica. That’s just despicable. Don’t tell him I told you this.”

She couldn’t tell Finnian about the pregnancy, but she had no qualms about exposing Dorian’s involvement with Jessica.

As she spoke, her mood grew even darker—her face visibly clouded over.

Dorian was still in touch with Jessica? He’d supposedly decided to settle down with Elysia, but was still keeping Jessica on the side? That was clearly two-timing.

But today, Finnian wasn’t speaking to her at all. And it was obvious that it wasn’t just that he didn’t want to talk—he seemed almost afraid to. That was telling.

Now, after returning from the bathroom, he could sense their moods had shifted again, as if something unpleasant had happened while he was out of the room. What exactly had gone on?

Although countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Mr. Kevin Everly didn’t bring it up. He simply sat down, continued eating, and made small talk.

He shared stories he’d recently heard from old friends. Amara responded to him throughout, while Finnian became the quiet one, barely saying a word.

Amara kept the conversation going because she knew Mr. Kevin Everly wasn’t in the best spirits today and wanted to lift his mood. Finnian, meanwhile, just sat there, quietly watching the two of them.
